Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11217 comments These won't work:
The Chemistry of Tears by Peter Carey Blood Bound (Unbound #1) by Rachel Vincent -- flesh-tones

Sheila (sheilaj) | 2221 comments Hi Kristi, I thought I should verify this cover as pink. If her skin isn't pink enough perhaps her lips are? Thanks

The Chemistry of Tears by Peter Carey

No, sorry, Sheila. Really going for pink-pink here rather than flesh-toned.

Sheila (sheilaj) | 2221 comments OK Kristi, thanks. I'll keep looking.

Megan Anderson (ms_anderson) | 1464 comments Is the hat on this cover pink enough, or is it too purple? Lost by Jacqueline Davies

This is definitely a task where I can switch things if need be, but I was just wondering since the book sounded good!

Looks like there's pink and purple in there. It works.

message 20: by Jessica (new)

Jessica (sureshot26) | 745 comments Looking for approval on this one - I can't tell if the main color is purple or pink, but there are some lighter spots in the center that seem clearly pink when I blow it up:

A Kiss Before Dying by Ira Levin

Sara ♥ (saranicole) | 1114 comments Cindy AL wrote: "Ok I must not like pink!"

That's so funny. I think my TBR might be 1/5 pink... haha! That's what happens when you read romance novels and YA fiction, I guess! ;)


message 26: by Riona (new)

Riona (rionafaith) Just wanted to check a few...

She May Not Leave by Fay Weldon (author's name in pink)

I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone by Stephanie Kuehnert (center guitar pick)

Whipping Girl A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity by Julia Serano

I apparently don't have that many pink covers on my TBR either!

Christine US (christineus) | 579 comments This has pink on it, but it's a darker looking pink in the online picture than on the book. Just making sure it's OK, since I don't want it rejected due to shading problems. Brownies and Broomsticks (A Magical Bakery Mystery #1) by Bailey Cates

Unlike most cover tasks which require at least half the cover to be the target color, this one just requires any pink on the cover. Blood Bound (Unbound #1) by Rachel Vincent isn't really pink, though, more flesh-colored. However, either Spells & Stitches by Barbara Bretton or Schism (Saga of the Skolian Empire, #10; The Triad, #1) by Catherine Asaro will work.
